Underbelly Circus Hub
Wowsers trousers – these guys were amazing ! This is a very slick, heart stopping, awe inspiring performance- intertwined with dialogue from Romeo and Juliet, setting the scene for some incredible interplay between two opposing sides….
As we are encouraged to support our team, dependent on location within the tent, we are fully immersed, and invested in the games that play out before us…It’s tense, with breath taking moments as performers drop great heights from poles-stopping mere inches from the floor, spin and flip from giant see-saws and move skilfully through beautifully choreographed diablo and acrobatic sequences. Excerpts from Shakespeare fill moments between the intensity of each act and weave the piece together…
This is a story without a tragic ending however, as opposing colours are shed and performers united…an uplifting message to accompany the stunning spectacle we have just witnessed..
My mini-reviewer said : ” It was a very slick performance, my heart was in my tummy and my palms were sweaty with excitement and nerves ! ”
